Blues' Late Surge Secures Thrilling FA Cup Win over 10-Man Foxes
Chelsea secured their spot in the FA Cup semi-finals after a thrilling 4-2 victory over Leicester at Stamford Bridge. Despite a penalty miss by Raheem Sterling, goals from Marc Cucurella and Cole Palmer gave Chelsea a comfortable lead by halftime.
However, Leicester fought back strongly in the second half, with a freak own goal from Axel Disasi followed by a stunning finish from Stephy Mavididi to level the score. Chelsea were then awarded a penalty, but VAR overturned it, though Leicester suffered a setback as Callum Doyle received a red card.
In stoppage time, Carney Chukwuemeka's cool finish, assisted by Palmer, eased the pressure on Chelsea fans, while Noni Madueke's late goal sealed the victory. Chelsea's win sets up a Wembley showdown next month.
